I am so happy that I attended the
swearing- in ceremony of Arvind Kejriwal at the Ramlila Maidan on 28 December,
as the new CM of Delhi. Otherwise, I would have never witnessed over one lac
people, donning the AAP cap, and beaming with
with joy , “ Ham jeet gaye yaro”. The common man has finally arrived.

I reached the Ramlila Maidan at around 10 am, and found people pouring in by
hundreds. You could hardly find an empty
chair. There was a natural joy in people, as if it was a fair. Every one seemed
to be part of the victory. Waving the National flag, singing patriotic songs, proudly
lifting brooms ( party symbol), some even had decorated brooms like bouquets,
and many supported mini brooms in their
AAP caps. It was a festive feeling, never seen before in politics. I could see many young boys and girls with
their cheeks painted with the ‘tiranga’, and many carrying placards ,
emphasising nationalism and honesty in politics.

I asked Shri Ramesh Chand, an enthusiastic
AAP volunteer sitting next to me, that what if re-elections were held. He
confidently replied, “Sir, we would have got a clear majority. And if the
Congress makes our govt fall now, we will get 58 seats in the re-election”.
That sentiment was echoed by many others whom I talked to. Such is the change
in the conviction and thinking of people. They feel that bad days of democracy
are over, and good days are ahead.

Suddenly, I find people in front of me
getting up, and I hear them say, “Oh, there is Kejriwal’s mother, sitting with
aam admi”. People were also thrilled
that Kejriwal, ministers, and MLAs were travelling by metro to the
venue. It was such a sound message to every one that , henceforth, no VIP
culture, no frills, only service to people.
It was now 11 am, and there was hardly any space in the ground even to
stand. The volunteers ( I won’t call them a crowd) had come from various parts
of the country, and not from Delhi alone. The major difference was that , this
time they had come on their own, and not brought by force or inducement .
Despite such a huge sea of volunteers, there was order, discipline and a
feeling of oneness.

Here comes Kejriwal, with his team of
ministers, and he jubilantly waves to
over a lac people in front of him. The atmosphere is electrified as if the Messiah
of the common man has arrived. There is huge clapping and slogan
shouting “ Kejriwal zindabad. Intquilab zindabad. Bharat Mata ki jay -----“.
The swearing in ceremony by the Lieut Governor commences dot at
1200 h. Kejriwal takes the oath with conviction, clearly and loudly. So do his ministers, with no mistake. Oath ceremony
over, now the new CM addresses his people and assures them, “ It is not my govt
but your govt. It is not me, the
bureaucrats, or few policemen who will
run it, but the govt will be run
involving one and half crore people of
Delhi. We are here to serve you
and not vice versa”. He is convincing and sounds absolutely genuine.

The function ends on a high note, and
people disperse with a sense of achievement. The mood of people is very upbeat, and they want to spread
the success of AAP across the country. The intention is noble, and there is
fire in the belly. Who can stop it, and why?

India" with inclusive and equitable cities in which every citizen has

A recent
report by the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) revealed that nearly 50%
Bharat (rural women) walked up to 5 Km a day for water. It reminded of me of my
mother. She used to fetch water from far off wells in a pitcher on her head, in
a remote village in Haryana, about 50 years back. There was no choice because
sweet water wells were few and far flung. There was no electricity or road,
what to talk of canals or underground water supply. The wells used to be about
100 feet deep, and it needed effort to pull out water with the help of a camel.
A house hold needed at least 10 to 15 litres of drinking water daily. Bathing, of
course, was mostly in village ponds. So, you can imagine, my mother used to
ferry at least ten times, morning and evening, to make sure that we had enough
water, and our studies was not affected, due to any inconvenience.

It is
surprising that even today; women in rural areas have to walk such long
distances to fetch water. Half their day goes in this activity, and remaining
half in cooking and attending to the family. Where is the time for rest, or
personal care for the poor woman? I wonder why we have not been able to provide
potable water supply to every house in the country. That should have been the
priority of every govt, in all the states. Like Kejriwal, has put water
and electricity as his top priority, the moment he takes over as the CM
of Delhi. That is the crux of meeting the aspirations of people, starting from
the grass roots and basic necessities. I feel, be it any party and govt, but
these priorities should remain the same.

After
water and electricity, the next priority should be toilets and sanitation. It
is high time we stopped defecating and urinating in the open. I have seen,
there are still a large number of houses which do not have toilets and women
have to face the awkwardness of doing it out in the fields. Girls do not have
enough toilets in schools and colleges. That is why many drop out in between
their studies. Ladies toilets are always causality, because we do not pay
enough attention to it. It is also high time we stopped depending on others (scavengers)
for cleaning our toilets. We have to develop dignity of labour and clean our
own house and toilets, mechanically or manually, as applicable. It is also not
enough just to keep our own houses clean. We got to learn to keep our
surroundings also clean. That will happen once we cultivate the civic sense.
Remember Aamir Khan’s message on it!

Let there
be Congress/BJP/ or any party in power,
but, Make Sure that no woman in our
country has to walk 5 KM to fetch a pitcher of water, or has to wait in line
for 20 to 30 minutes for a bucket of water. Let no girl has to leave her school
because there is no girl’s toilet or there is no electricity to study. And let
no poor man have to sleep hungry, without a roof. Then, we can see Bharat and
India merging into a happy Hindustan. We owe it to people who elect us.

(1) Save as
otherwise expressly provided by the foregoing provisions of this part, where anybody
corporate constituted under a Central Act, State Act or provincial Act For the
existing State of Punjab or any part there of serves the needs of the successor
states or has, by virtue of the provisions of
Part II. Become an interstate lonely corporate then, the body corporate
shall on and from the appointed day, continue to function and operate in those
areas in respect of which it was functioning and operating immediately before
that day, subject to such directions as may from time to time be issued by the Central
Government, Until other provision to made by law in respect of the said body
corporate.

(2) Any direction issued by the central Government under
sub section (1) in respect of any such body corporate may include a direction
that any law by which the said body corporate is governed shall in its
application to that body corporate; have effect subject to such exceptions and
modifications as may be specified in the direction.

(3) For the removal of doubt it is hereby declared that
the provisions of the section shall apply also to the Punjab University
constituted under the Punjab University Act, 1947 the Punjab Agricultural
University constituted under the Punjab Agricultural University Act, 1961 and
the Board constituted under the provision of Part III of the Sikh Gurdwara Act,
1925.

Haryana Govt. got disaffiliated their colleges from
Punjab University on the same very day and got affiliated to Kurukshetra
University. Haryana Agriculture University was established in 1970. Nothing was
done by Haryana Govt. for the Sikh Gurudwara Act 1925 which was also a part of
this Article.

Few words for Gurudwara Act 1925.

Gurdwara Act was passed by Punjab Assembly in 1925,
signed by the Governor of Punjab not by Viceroy of India. So its jurisdiction
was only the State of Punjab. In 1947, Punjab was bifurcated into East and west
Punjab. The Gurdwara Act stood only for east Punjab. In 1956 PEPSU was merged
in Punjab so the jurisdiction of this Act automatically extended up to Delhi.
In 1966, Punjab was re-organised as this Act was meant only for Punjab. So to
keep Haryana, Chandigarh and part of Himachal under this Act is unfair, unjust,
unethical and also against the democratic norms of the country.

1.This
Act is meant for Punjab only. It is also clear from the fact that the members
of Gurudwara Judicial Commission are appointed by Chief Minister of Punjab without
any consultation with the Chief Minister of Haryana, Himachal and the
administrator of Chandigarh.

2.All India Congress Committee
(AICC) promised the Haryana Sikhs as per their manifesto published in 2005 for
Haryana Assembly Election that Congress if comes in Power will get implemented The
Punjab Re organisation act section 72(iii) in totality. On this promise made by
AICC, The Sikhs of Haryana voted twice in favour of Congress in Assembly and
Parliament elections after 1984 episode for the 1st time, but the
promise made by the AICC still remain to be fulfilled.

3.In 2006, Haryana Govt.
constituted a committee for consideration of a separate Gurdwara Board for
Sikhs in Haryana, under the chairmanship of Sh Harmohinder Singh Chatha the
then speaker Haryana Vidhan Sabha. He invited the views of Sikhs of Haryana in
the form of affidavits in favour or against the formation of a separate
Gurdwara board. Not even a single Sikh went against the formation of a separate
board. The Chatha committee recommended the formation of a separate Gurdwara
board in Haryana.

4.On 7th March,
2008, a discussion was held on a motion moved by Sh. Nirmal Singh MLA regarding
the formation of a separate Gurdwara board in Haryana, all the MLAs present in
the house numbering 73 favoured the formation of the Board, not even a single
MLA from any party opposed it.

5.If
all the other states in India like, Maharashtra, Bihar, Delhi have their
separate Gurdwara board than why not Haryana.

It is very unfortunate that when Punjab reorganization
act, views of Sikhs in Haryana and opinion of the elected representatives of
Haryana is in favour of the separate Gurdwara Board in Haryana, then we fail to
understand that why the Haryana Govt. is bent upon to deprive the Sikhs of
Haryana of their legitimate right for Separate Gurdwara Board.

Your esteemed personality is very humbly requested to use
your influence on the Haryana Govt. to implement the Punjab Re-organization act
(Art. 72) in totality, so that the promise made in the manifesto stand
implemented.

Gujarat, Gujrat chief minister Narendra Modi flagged off 'Run for unity', which
seeks to drum up support for his 'Statue of unity' project, on the 63rd death
anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel here on Sunday morning. The run is
being held simultaneously in about 1,100 places across the country. According
to Narendra Modi - This run is being organized with a determination to unite
the people, unite the villages and unite the nation, it was about
"patriotism".

The
stunning success of AAP in the Delhi elections
has changed the thinking of the nation towards politics. Congrats to the
common man for reposing faith in the principled politics, and commitment to
development. It is a victory of goodness over money and muscle power. Idealism,
a word which people had started laughing at, has again got back its respect.
Kejriwal and his AAP, have written a new chapter in India politics. It has a very bright future ahead, provided
it practises what it preaches, when in power.

The
debacle of the Congress party in four states is surprising, to say the least.
The sweep by the BJP has further strengthened Narinder Modi’s position as the
PM candidate, and somewhat dented the stature of Rahul Gandhi.

Now, the
Congress has to rethink its political strategy.
How does it approach the 2014 elections?
The difficult situation demands tough decisions. Lessons have to be
learnt. Sonia Gandhi is the main trump
card the party has. But, I feel, it is not the opportune time to use it. Presently, the initiative lies with Modi, and
if Sonia, as PM candidate fails, then the Congress party will face difficulty
to pull it out of a difficult situation in 2014. So, now, the best option is to
announce Dr Manmohan Singh as its PM candidate. He has a clean image, and
despite being considered weak (which I personally do not agree), is a thorough
professional. Rahul Gandhi, and other top leaders, should back him up to the
hilt. The party must connect to the man in the street, with all humility,
without hitting out at any body. The Congress can bounce back, based on its
development schemes, and secular outlook.

It is also
a perfect time for the political parties to check their course, and sweep out
‘dirt’ from politics. Let them shed the baggage of ‘bhai bhatija’ in
politics. A politician must be seen as social worker and not the one wielding
authority to browbeat the system and make money. He should be the one who helps
bureaucracy to work for the poor and not twist them towards corruption. Let
this positive momentum in politics be built up to herald a new era in India
democracy. Social activists like Anna Hazare, and others, should support the
change, and help in fielding good candidates for the elections, whichever party
it may be. If we want a positive change, then we all got to chip in, rather
than crib and sit on the fence. Then alone, our Parliament and state assemblies
will be filled with dedicated representatives of people, ensuring healthy
democracy, and all round progress of the nation.
